Every woman possesses the wisdom and strength to fulfill her potential.
Meet Kelly
I'm a licensed therapist and a therapeutically trained coach based in Fort Collins, Colorado, and the founder of Fulfill & Flourish Counseling and Coaching. At the start of my counseling career, my goal was to assist clients from various backgrounds and guide them through their challenges. But little did I know that my heart was really geared towards moms. I just knew something was missing in this area, and as I continued working with them, I realized how right I was.
However, it wasn't until I embarked on my own motherhood journey that I could fully comprehend the lack of support women receive during this significant phase of life. After experiencing recurrent miscarriages and ectopic pregnancies, I felt so alone, isolated, and desperate for support that was mostly absent.
This experience drove me to focus exclusively on helping women during the TTC and postpartum phases of their lives. With my education and professional background, I wanted to help fill the gap and provide the support, encouragement, and advocacy that so many women lack.
Then, when my second daughter was born, I found myself struggling through postpartum mood issues, even though I had zero risk factors, and my first postpartum experience had been a breeze.
Despite my education and experience, which included years of working in diverse settings and witnessing the toughest parts of parenting and childbirth, I was surprised by how difficult it was to recognize what I needed and where to find support. I couldn't imagine how other new moms were managing this, and I knew I couldn't be the only one suffering. It was then that I realized the immense need for accessible and personalized support for moms and moms-to-be.
Today, I bring my personal experience, expertise, and passion for this work to each and every therapy and coaching session, striving to make a difference in the lives of all the amazing women I work with.

My Approach
At Fulfill & Flourish Counseling and Coaching, I offer individualized support, encouragement, and advocacy that takes into account the unique circumstances and experiences of every mom and mom-to-be. My counseling and coaching services are designed for women who understand that a cookie-cutter approach simply doesn't work and are seeking customized guidance through their motherhood journey.
For moms who are trying to conceive or going through postpartum, I am dedicated to helping you take charge of your experience. This includes providing support for postpartum mental health concerns, such as Postpartum Depression, Psychosis, OCD, Anxiety, and Rage. I want to ensure you have the support and tools you need to experience a smoother transition into motherhood and beyond.
The moms I work with also recognize the importance of being proactive in their approach to motherhood. They are looking for a coach and therapist who can help them take action now and who can support them as they navigate the challenges and joys of motherhood. Whether you are facing mom guilt, burnout, or isolation, I can help you navigate these challenges and come out on top.
Philosophy
Postpartum mental health is an area close to my heart, as I have experienced the challenges myself. During this transformative time, many women struggle with overwhelming feelings, anxiety, and self-doubt. My goal is to create a safe and non-judgmental space where mothers can explore and understand their unique emotions, needs, and desires.
To achieve this, I take a holistic approach to counseling and coaching. I understand that every client's circumstances are different, requiring personalized tools and techniques for success. By getting to know you on the deepest level possible, I can tailor my methods and suggestions to suit your preferences and goals. Whether that means guiding you through organizing your thoughts and plans with worksheets, taking a much-needed date night, or connecting with your baby through yoga, I am here to support and encourage you.
My counseling and coaching philosophy is grounded in the belief that every woman possesses the wisdom and strength to fulfill her potential. As your therapist and coach, I will be by your side, guiding and supporting you on your journey of self-discovery and empowerment. Together, we will create a life that is truly meaningful and fulfilling to you.
